Drake spoiled the Braves’ annual Pink Game in support of the fight against breast cancer by beating BU, 94-71.

Bradley gave the Bulldogs open chances from 3-point range, and under the basket, too.

“We weren’t locked in to what we were doing defensively,” Bradley coach Michael Brooks said. “We didn’t play with a passion that we needed to play with, especially on a night we were honoring, and playing for, such a great cause.”

Drake had 27 assists on 35 field goals. All but two of the field goals came from either the paint or from the 15 3-pointers.

“We did a nice job getting the ball in the paint, and you can do that when you’re shooting well from outside,” DU coach Jennie Baranczyk said.

Lizzie Wendell led all scorers with 25 points for Drake (13-12, 7-7 in the MVC). Kyndal Clark had 20 behind six 3-pointers.

Bradley came up empty on its first six possessions, missing six shots and committing three turnovers.

Drake sprinted to a lead which reached 22 points midway through the half.

Kelly Frings led Bradley (6-18, 2-10) with 17 points after having three at halftime because of foul trouble.

“She was finally able to look and get open shots,” Brooks said. “She’s our shooter, and it opens up other things for us.”
